'It's a message calling for world peace' say a Muslim couple

Anisa Jussab, 36, bought a £1 pack of eggs from her local supermarket in Leicester and was about to bake a cake for her husband Farid, 37, when she noticed bumps on one of the shells.

And upon taking a closer look Mrs Jussab discovered the phrase ‘None to be worshipped except Allah’ in Arabic script - leading her to believe that it was a blessing.

She said: ‘We have been blessed by a miracle. It’s not something anyone has carved on the egg. These things appear and I’ve heard about this sort of thing in the roots of trees and in the sky.

‘It is a sign and I think it’s a message to all Muslims to forgive and to have a clean heart. It is a miracle and a blessing.’

Mr Jussab's wife purchased the pack of ten Class A large fresh eggs from Iceland last Thursday so that she could bake a cake for him at the weekend.

He added: ‘When she took the egg out she felt the marks with her hand and then looked and saw our God’s name on it, as well as other writing all the way around.

He went to the Masjid Ul Imam Al Bukhari mosque in Leicester about the discovery, where the imam advised him to let the contents of the egg out to stop it becoming rotten.

Mr Jussab said: ‘He said I must make a hole and get the egg out and then eat the egg with my wife. Then I shall put the shell in a glass container where anyone can come and see it.

‘I am going to keep the egg forever now. I’m not the sort of man who prays five times a day so this is amazing.’

‘This sort of message has been seen before on fish, aubergines and watermelons.’

In March 2011, Asim Taj, 24, spotted the word Allah on an egg after buying it in a box from a local shop in Nottingham - prompting some visitors to travel almost 100 miles to see it.

And in July 2006, a chicken in the village of Stepnoi in eastern Kazakhstan laid an egg with the word ‘Allah’ inscribed on its shell, just after a powerful hail storm had apparently hit the area.

An Iceland spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment from MailOnline today.
